Arrah: Prime Minister Narendra Modi continued his campaign in Bihar with a rally in Arrach on Sunday. Speaking of a rift between the Mahagathbandhan allies the PM said that Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) had stolen the Chief Minister’s post from the Congress party, and the Mahagathbandhan was “forced” to announce Tejashwi Yadav as their CM face amid pressure.
Calling it “gundagardi” by the RJD, PM Modi highlighted how the NDA in turn has been working together, hand in hand for Bihar’s development, whereas the Mahagathbandhan alliance might likely “break each other’s heads” after the election.
“Today for Viksit Bihar the whole NDA is together and moving forward, but on the other hand Congress and RJD are fighting. Today I will tell you insider information. Just a day before nomination filing, behind closed doors, gundagardi (hooliganism) was happening. Congress did not want to have an RJD CM, but RJD did not leave the opportunity. They put a gun on Congress’ head and stole the CM’s post. They made sure of an announcement,” PM Modi said while addressing an election rally in Bihar’s Arrah.
PM Modi further claimed that Congress is being sidelined by the RJD, alleging that their opinions were not taken for their manifesto, “Tejashwi ka Pran.”
“Congress was forcefully made to make the CM’s announcement with a gun to their head. Brothers, the fight between RJD and Congress has increased a lot. Neither was the party heard for their manifesto, neither are they able to do good publicity. Before elections, problems have increased so much that after elections they will break each other’s head. That is why one should remember always that these people can never do good for Bihar,” he said.
The PM once again invoked the era of RJD’s infamous “jungle raaj” and said it was defined by “katta, grirta, katuta, kusanskar, kushashan, and corruption.”
PM Modi added, “One side is NDA’s governance, on another side is the misgovernance of jungle raaj. Jungle raaj is the time of darkness which slowly emptied out Bihar. The thing with which RJD’s jungle raaj is katta, grirta, katuta, kusanskar, kushashan, and corruption.”
He further alleged that the RJD-Congress alliance is looking to “erase Bihar’s identity” by supporting infiltrators.
“RJD-Congress are engaged in efforts to erase Bihar’s identity. These people are conducting yatras in support of infiltrators in Bihar. These people are fully dedicated, body and soul, to saving the infiltrators,” PM Modi said.
Voting for the 243-seat Bihar Assembly will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11. The results will be declared on November 14.
